How can we help you?

If you have unsecured debt of under $10,000 and live in the Province of Ontario filing bankruptcy may not be the best option for you. We suggest you contact the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy at 416-973-6441 to discuss your options, or you can visit their website here.

Agreement*

I understand that Bankruptcy-Canada.ca does not provide debt relief services directly and agree to securely share this information with a local Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) for a free, confidential consultation.

If you decide to file a bankruptcy there is nothing that forces your common law husband to file. However, in some instances where there is a great deal of joint debt it is more cost effective for two people to file together (although it is not necessary). Best thing to do is to simply contact a local trustee and they will be able to determine if that would be wise or not.
